Live: Chat with Jason Levithal, Founder of Line Skis. Sunday, 8-9 EST.

Good thoughts. The ad ran in FREEZE (RIP) but I can see why you may think that but to us the ad still holds true. It said change is good and when were you're binding invented. All of the other bindings are based on old tech, yes they work great in keeping you in but its a fact that the design essentially hasn't changed in 30 yrs and knee injuries continue to increase every year. When people were flying out of the window of cars in crashes car co's built seat belts, when they were still getting hurt they developed air bags. I think its fine to call out the fact that our binding is new, different, works differently then any other bind out there. Of course they've had 30 yrs to evolve the same design so its easy to point to a weakness or two in our design but this is true of every new product. I don't consider our binding a bomb I consider it a miracle that a small company like Line had the balls to put the resources together over a 5 year time span and created a product with features far beyond existing bidnings. Can our binding be improved of course like any product on the market. Our plans for the future of it is to do everything in our power to continue to improve it but where that puts us is to be seen, thats the risk and trials and tribulations of being a leader instead of a follower. Respect.
 
lilhorsey, h30 doesnt buy skis, he's not the average skier

as cko said, jason is trying to answer all the questions and spambuster prevents him from answering more than 1 every 20 seconds, read the thread, wilsons on salomon, stop copy pasting questions, hes going in order for the most part, be patient
 
On your website you say that beginners will benefit when they have backward twisting falls. What Kind of beginner is gonna shell out for some reactors and line skis?
 
uhh, is jason still answering questions, it seems like eveyrthing has slowed down alot
 
have you ever thought about helping mad river get a small park up? just something on the practice hill that could be fun in the down days. nothing special
 
you just answered your own question. we can't make a mold to produce only a few skis. Sounds like you'll have no problem buttering the prophet 130 at your size
 
IF I e-mail you for free stickers and send in an empty envelope with stamp will you send back some stickers?
 
No worries Jay, stay on as long as you'd like. I'm sure there will be no shortage of questions coming.
 
I agree with you. No one was doing cab 9's at the time especially as solid and steezy as that. That was weak.
 
I need to poop, and this interview is still goin on, and the insomniac special is on. Damn, I need to figure this out!
 
where do you feel the progression of skiing will go in the future. more towards backcountry lines and booters, or park. personally im goin with park, just cause almost every mountain these days has one, and the backcountry isnt availble to everyone
 
Why did you give Eric Pollard almost complete control of your 2006-7 ski models. Also why did u let so many good skiers go this year like skogen sprang. Im also curious about the engineering aspects behind lines creation of skis. I live near burlington and i was wondering if u give tours at all. I also know Brave, i think u were his mentor. I was wondering if there are any intern positions availible or slave tasks around the factory
